KEEP IT
SWAMP
READY.

A good can is meant to stick around. Here's how to keep yours looking fresh without making a whole production out of it.

THE BASICS // 001

THE QUICK
CLEAN.

No specialized kit required. A soft cloth, a little water, and a few minutes are usually all you need.

01

EMPTY THE CAN.

Remove any remaining pouches and empty the used-pouch compartment in the lid. Brush away loose debris.

02

WIPE GENTLY.

Clean inside and out with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a small amount of mild dish soap on the cloth.

03

MIND THE DETAILS.

Wipe around the lid, edges, and knurling. A clean, soft-bristled brush can help with debris in the grooves. Avoid scraping tools.

04

DRY IT OUT.

Remove any soap residue with another lightly damp cloth, then dry completely before putting pouches back inside or closing the lid.

THE RIGHT WAY

TREAT IT
RIGHT.

  • Use a soft microfiber or other nonabrasive cloth.
  • Clean with a little water and mild soap when needed.
  • Keep both storage compartments free of residue.
  • Dry the can and O-ring area thoroughly.
  • Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD WAY

DON'T GET
CREATIVE.

  • No dishwasher, boiling water, or microwave.
  • Don't soak or submerge the can.
  • Avoid bleach, strong solvents, and harsh cleaners.
  • Skip steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, and metal polish.
  • Don't close it while the interior is still damp.
THE DETAILS // 002

KNOW YOUR
CAN.

A couple of small details make a difference over time.

01 / THE SEAL

KEEP THE O-RING HAPPY.

Keep the seal and its groove clear of dust, residue, and trapped moisture. Make sure it sits evenly before closing. Don't stretch, pick at, or force a twisted O-ring into place.

An O-ring does not make the can guaranteed waterproof. Avoid immersion.

02 / THE FINISH

GO EASY ON THE COLOR.

Avoid rough surfaces and abrasive cleaning products that can scratch or dull the colored finish. Wipe off grit before rubbing the exterior, and don't use metal polish.

Regular handling may leave normal signs of wear over time.

03 / THE ENGRAVING

YOUR DESIGN DESERVES CARE.

Clean custom engraving using the same soft-cloth method. Skip stiff brushes and scrubbing directly over engraved details; a gentle wipe is all you should need.

Avoid trying to recolor, buff, or chemically treat the engraving.

04 / THE EXTRAS

DON'T FORGET THE UNDERSIDE.

Wipe the integrated bottle opener after use and dry it thoroughly. Empty the separate used-pouch compartment regularly instead of letting residue build up.

The bottom bottle opener is an accessory, not a reason to abuse the can.

COMMON QUESTIONS // 003

QUICK
ANSWERS.

Because nobody wants to read an instruction manual the size of a swamp.

Can I put my NIQO can in the dishwasher?
No. Hand-clean it using a soft cloth and mild soap as needed, and dry it thoroughly.
Is the NIQO can waterproof?
The O-ring helps the lid seal, but don't assume the can is waterproof or suitable for submersion. Keep water out of the storage compartments.
How often should I clean it?
Wipe it down whenever it gets dirty, and empty the used-pouch compartment regularly. Clean and dry it before storing it for an extended period.
What if my O-ring gets damaged or loose?
Don't force a damaged, stretched, or misplaced seal into position. Contact NIQO with a photo so we can review the issue.
Can I use strong disinfectants or alcohol cleaners?
We recommend avoiding harsh solvents and alcohol-based cleaners unless compatibility with your can's finish has been confirmed. Use a gentle cloth and mild soap instead.
